Arachidonic acid actions on functional integrity and attenuation of the negative effects of palmitic acid in a clonal pancreatic ß-cell line

Chronic exposure of pancreatic β-cells to saturated non-esterified fatty acids can lead to inhibition of insulin secretion and apoptosis. Several previous studies have demonstrated that saturated fatty acids such as PA (palmitic acid) are detrimental to β-cell function compared with unsaturated fatt...
